The Del Mar College Board of Regents includes nine regents in a modified single-member district configuration. Five regents represent specific geographic districts while four serve at-large. The Del Mar College District includes all the area in the Calallen, Corpus Christi, Flour Bluff, Tuloso-Midway and West Oso Independent School Districts.

Regent candidates must be registered voters who reside within the Del Mar College District. If they are running for a single-member district seat, they must also reside in that district.
